This study was conducted to elucidate the best cutting condition in propagation of Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii in respect of survival rate, rooting rate, and early growth after cutting via process of cutting time, cutting media, cutting type and growth regulators. As for cutting time, rooting rate was 68.3% on April, which was higher than 39.5% on May and 32.5% on June. The best cutting media was stream sand of rooting rate 72.7%. Those of mixed soil and decomposition were 40.1% and 27.5% each. The effect of growth regulators was different according to the kind of cutting media. There was no effect on stream sand media which showed the highest rooting rate, while it was very effective on the media of decomposition of granite, which rooting rate showed the lowest. Hardwood as cutting materials showed somewhat higher survival and rooting rate compared to semi-hardwood. The cutting with hardwood condition to stream sand on April, it is regarded to be the most effective condition for Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii to increase survival and rooting rate. Therefore in this experiment it is considered that the best season cutting is April, and the most useful media and plant materials stream sand, and hardwood respectively.

This study was conducted to find out the adequate cutting method for propagation and the optimum treat-ing time of GA$_3$ to enhance the fruit setting of Pepino (Solanum muricatum AIT). Mixture of peat moss (50%) and vermiculite (50%) shows the best rooting for the Pepino stem cuttings. An active rooting was observed 15 days after the cuttings were treated with 1,000 ppm of NAA. Application of GA$_3$ at flowering stage was effective for fruit setting of Pepino and fruit setting was the most satisfactory when GA$_3$ was sprayed over the flowers.

This study was conducted to develop a mass production for a commercial use by cutting of 4 kinds of V. glabrifolia Kitag., V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee, V. glabrifolia Kitag. × V. Spicata 'Alba' and V. spicata 'Ulster Blue Dwarf' × V. longifolia. Veronica L. Effects of shade, media and concentrations of plant growth regulators on the rooting of Veronica L. were examined. The rooting rate of V. glabrifolia Kitag. was higher as a 60% than the V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee as a 20% in the control of commercial media. In shading treatment, the rooting rate was highest at 30% or 60% shading, and the 30% shading was the best in number of root and root length, but the 90% shading was lower than no shading treatment. For cutting media, the rock wool and 100% perlite increased the rooting rate by more than 10% compared to commercial media, and increased the number of roots by 2 or 3 times. However the Cocopeat of media was lower of rooting rate, root number, and root length compared to another treatment. In the plant growth regulator treatment, the rate of rooting increased in all treatment compared to control, and was highest at IBA 1,000mg·L^-1 as a 82.2% and NAA 200 or 400mg·L^-1 as a 82.2% or 84.4% respectively, in the V. glabrifolia Kitag. × V. Spicata 'Alba'. However, the root number and root length was decreased as the concentration of growth regulators increased.
